Does anyone know if Herter's used to make Shoveler decoys? My entire spread consists of Herter's dekes and am interested in getting my hands on some shoveler heads so I can custom paint the bodies. Any ideas where I could find such a thing?

Don't remember ever seeing one and still have a catalog from the early '70s. Herter's generally uses only 2 different heads for most of thier decoys, a generic Mallard and Bluebill that work fine. Think you'll probably have to carve them, which is entertaining.

First it rained, then it blew, then it frizz, then it snew --- from an oldtimers gunning boat ~~ He understood what it's about!
